Target for the win!

We hopped to Target! 

Cute halloween buckets

wooden space toys for balancing

I saw one that a girl was carrying around and these were the last two left!

She put it down, and I scooped it up lol

I heard someone was going to use it for syllables,

but I am going to use them as pointers :) 

Colorful dog skeletons.

Pointers! 

I scored some sets for my teaching buddy too!

I hopped to Target.

 

Kid-safe headphones- these are for my 3rd grader. They had three different color combinations.

More double sided border (apparently I bought it twice lol)

cable ties- for the shark!! 

I plan to put letters/numbers/shapes/colors and use clothespins to clip.

Stay tuned for the finished product.

I plan to laminate first and write with a sharpie later. maybe lol  

maybe since I have two sets, I will write first and then laminate.

Kinderpond shops: Dollar Tree Edition

I hopped over to Dollar Tree again!

Here are building block containers:

I am hoping to find more Colors of the World crayons.

I am hoping to find one for each of my students.

They were on display with a coloring book- in the same display.

I will let you know about those fun crayons. 

I love sharks, I am not sure it will make it to school. ;( 

More pencils for the writing center.

Here were some backdrops for ocean/beach week

Yes, I bought more happy birthday crowns

did I have to look back on my photos to see which colors I had

already bought in the middle of Dollar Tree?  Also yes lol

I looked back at this post for the photo lol

I thought the green one was a dino? yes but they all have fish tales for the zipper pulls.

Seuss puzzles

I am going to see how big these are-

I am hoping they will fit in my morning bin drawers.

More color puzzles

I am hoping these will fit in the morning bins too!

I use these as themed pointers.

Yes, these are all the same just the outside is different!

Kinderpond Shops at Bullseye's Playground

Do you have a magnet center in your room?

I used to use the back of my question of the day board,

but over the years, the kids have gotten rougher and knock

over the stars on the other side.

I am going to put the magnet center in my reading loft.

Wild animal magnets

There are two other sets that I am still on the hunt for!

Color books of stickers 

This is a magnet container great for our pond unit. 

Shark magnet container perfect for the ocean unit.

Letters and numbers

I use these the first few weeks of school,

either in morning bins or centers.

I just bought two packs, 

just showing the back and front.

Here are some cool crayons.

Maybe put them in the writing center.

Here are two puzzles

there was a third one, a caterpillar,

 but we do insects at the end of the year,

and the caterpillar only goes up to 10.

 

Kinderpond Visits Target in May

Oh Target how I have missed you!

I ordered mini erasers on line and I needed to pick them up.

The last time I went there was so so so long ago!

I had to make a return... the card reader didn't like my card lol

like it forgot how to shop lol

I got a card reader error at check-out, but that was all on me,
